Winter Park, Colorado is officially the highest incorporated city in the United States.

Winter months offer skiing, snow boarding, and sledding.

Summer months offer fly fishing, soaking in the hot springs, horseback riding and hiking. Did I mention mountain climbing? If you are going to Colorado and want to talk shop with the locals…Do a 14er, pronounced "fourteener." It is to climb a mountain to 14,000 feet. Of course, the ideal is to climb them all and Colorado has plenty.
